Mark p yes just had a look at that was tempted but didn't fancy paying £8 postage second class when the kit was only £12

I have a question.....


I know the main body must be glossy like the sun but.....and the chassis? Of course, I will not add mud, dust or chipping effects.....but a filter? A simple filter that helps to add shades and volume to the pieces. Or you always leave the metal parts immaculate?


I’m a really “friki”!! As there isn’t holes to drill on the brake discs I added four different colours there.

The small one with titanium golden, a black one to add shade and two different metal colours to simulate where the brake works on the disc and where not....


Almost I’m happy with the paintwork on the springs....


Promised....I will not do something like this again

Those brakes polux are a thing of beauty

I only ever gloss the body because the chassis and inside won't really be seen but I know this kit has opening doors so maybe a satin gloss interior

Stunning work!

Great work so far Polux, I'm sure this will be another one of your masterpieces!


A car's chassis is always dirty, unless it's owned by a concours champion who keeps in in the garage between shows


A rule of thumb is anything that's visible to a standing or crouching person will be clean & shiny - anything under the car will be grimy & dirty.

Looks like another of your works of art in progress polux mate, is there anything you can't do!!!!!


Cheers, Andrew

Great work on the discs Polux. At the moment it's looking ripe for a Steampunk make over.

 

[Guest]

Looking good!

So I added my own version ones....


They are made with Tamiya sand paper (1500), and have a nice texture. Now I only need to change the colour with some filter

Ufff.....I’ve been some days without any modelling activity....


Isn’t a very important update! But here there is.....I decided, finally, which colour paint the interiors....


I remember those, not classic, but old Mercedes with this blue tone inside.....so I copied a similar effect.

Any more updates polux?

 

[Guest]

Yep!! I don't like the colour that I've been choice....so I will repaint it! I'm just waiting for the inspiration!! Sorry Marc

 

[Pikeman]

This is going to be good.


A lot of detail to master in the paint work but looks like you have done your homework to achieve your goal.


Good luck will be watching .
